Ceasing to Wear Ties

1 It's useless.It's dirty.It spreads disease.That's why the British Medical Association in
the UK recently called for hospital doctors to stop wearing ties.
2 That leads to another question.Why does anyone wear a tie?Ties serve no purpose.
They do not cover any part of your body and keep you warm.They always seem to get
covered in food stains.Perhaps that is the purpose of the tie.It lets everyone know what
you just ate.
3 Ties have an odd history.Soldiers from Croatia,in Eastern Europe,served as
mercenaries（雇佣军）in various conflicts in the 17th century.They were identified by brightly
colored pieces of silk worn around the neck.Known as cravats（围巾）,these became a
popular fashion item in France and eventually evolved into the tie.
4 It's an interesting story,but it doesn't tell us why men want to put useless pieces of cloth
or silk around their necks.The answer seems to be about identification（身份证明）.In the
19th-century Britain,ties were used by universities,military regiments（团）,sports clubs,
schools and gentleman's clubs.Each tie was in a particular set of colors which identified the
wearer as a member of that organization.Wearing ties was also the mark of Britain's most
powerful classes.That made the tie itself a symbol of power and respect.And that led it to
be adopted by a much larger class一the business class.
5 You cannot wear a tie if you work with machinery.So wearing a tie became a sign that
you were a man who used his brain to make a living,rather than his hands.It showed you
were serious.It showed you were a professional.It meant that everyone who wanted a job
in business had to wear one.It was just impossible to take seriously a man who did not wear
a piece of colored silk around his neck.This is how millions of people came to wear ties
across the world.
6 Is there a future for ties?The signs are not promising.Many political leaders,including
British Prime Minister Tony Blair,now go without ties.

British Prime Minister Tony Blair is a man__________.
A:they were workmen
B:they were members of different organizations
C:hospital doctors stop wearing ties
D:who does not always wear a tie
E:who served as mercenaries in many conflicts in the 1 7th century
F:who does not want to live like a king

考题 Five years ago, David Smith wore an expensive suit to work every day． "I was a clothes addict," he jokes． "I used to carry a fresh suit to work with me so I could change if my clothes got wrinkled．" Today David wears casual clothes--khaki pants and a sports shirt to the office． He hardly ever wears a necktie． "I'm working harder than ever," David says, "and I need to feel comfortable．" More and more companies are allowing their office workers to wear casual clothes to work． In the United States, the changes from formal to casual office wear have been slow． In the early 1990s, many companies allowed their workers to wear casual clothes on Friday (but only on Friday)． This became known as "dress-down Friday" or "casual Friday"． "What started out as an extra one-day-a-week benefit for workers has really become an everyday thing．" said business adviser Maisly Jones． Why have so many companies started allowing their workers to wear casual clothes' One reason is that it's easier for a company to attract new workers if it has a casual dress code． "A lot of young people don't want to dress up for work," says the owner of a software company, "so it's hard to hire people if you have a conservative dress code．" Another reason is that people seem happier and more productive when they are wearing comfortable clothes． In a study made by Levi Strauss and Company, 85 percent of employers said that casual dress has a side effect on work． Supporters of casual office wear also say that a casual dress code helps them save money． "Suits are expensive, if you have to wear one every day," one person said． "For the same amount of money, you can buy a lot more casual clothes．" In this passage, the following advantages of casual office wear are mentioned EXCEPT． ( ) A. saving worker's money B. making workers more attractive C. improving worker's feeling D. making workers happier

考题 共用题干 第一篇 Is the Tie a Necessity?Ties,or neckties,have been asymbol of politeness and elegance in Britain for centuries.But the casual Prime Minister Tony Blair has problems with them.Reports suggest that even the civil servants maystop wearing ties.So,are the famously formalBritish really going to abandon the neckties?Maybe.Last week,the UK's Cabinet Secretary Andrew Turnbull openly welcomed a tieless era.He hinted that civi!servants would soon be free of the costliest 12 inches of fabric that most men ever buy in their lives.In fact,Blair showed this attitude when he had his first guests to a cocktail party.Many of them were celebrities（知名人士）without ties, which would have been unimaginable even in the recent past.For some more conservative British,the tie is a must for proper appearance.Earlier, Labor leader Jim Callaghan said he would have died rather than have his children seen inpublic without a tie.For people like Callaghan,the tie was a sign of being complete,of showing respect.Men were supposed to wear a tie when going to church,to work in the office,to a party-almost every social occasion.But today,people have begun to accept a casual style even for formal occasions.The origin of the tie is tricky.It started as something called simply a"band".The term could mean anything around a man's neck.It appeared in finer ways in the 1630s. Frenchmen showed a love of this particular fashion statement. Their neckwear（颈饰） impressed Charles II , the king of England who was exiled（流放）to France at that time. When he returned to England in 1660,he brought this new fashion item along with him.It wasn't,however,until the late 18th century that fancy young men introduced a more colorful,flowing piece of cloth that eventually became known as the tie.Then,clubs, military institutions and schools began to use colored and patterned ties to indicate the wearer's membership in the late 1gth century.After that,the tie became a necessary item of clothing for British gentlemen.But now,even gentlemen are getting tired of ties.Anyway,the day feels a bit easierwhen you wake up without having to decide which tie suits you and your mood. Why does Blair sometimes show up in a formal event without a tie?A:Because he wants to make a show.B: Because he wants to attract attention.C: Because ties are costly.D:Because he wants to live in a casual way.

考题 问答题Practice 1　 Directions:　 Read the following text(s) and write an essay to　 1) summarize the main points of the text(s),　 2) make clear your own viewpoint, and　 3) justify your stand.　 In your essay, make full use of the information provided in the text(s). If you use more than three consecutive words from the text(s), use quotation marks (“ ”).　 You should write 160—200 words on the ANSWER SHEET.　 There was a heated discussion on whether to require every student to wear a uniform. The following are arguments from supporters of uniforms and their competitors.　 Supportive arguments:　 There are those who say that wearing a uniform gives a person or a seller of identification with a larger, more important concept. They say that the practice of making persons wear uniforms, say in a school, eliminates all envy and competition in the matter of dress, such a poor person who cannot afford good quality clothing is not to be belittled by a wealthy person who wears expensive quality clothing. They also say it is helpful to build up team work ability, enhance the school's entire public image, and boost up the honor of collectiveness by wearing school uniform.　 Opposite arguments:　 Others say no one should be forced to wear a uniform under any circumstance. Uniforms are demanding to the human spirit and totally unnecessary in a democratic society. Uniforms tell the world that the person who wears one has no value as all individuals but only lives to function as a part of a whole. If all persons were to wear the same clothing, why would anyone strive to be better? When this happens, all incentive to improve one’s life is removed. Why world parents bother to work hard so that their children could have a better life than they had when they know that their children are going to be forced to have exactly the same life that they had? Uniforms also hurt the economy. Right now, billions of dollars are spent on the fashion industry yearly. Thousands of persons are employed in designing, creating and marketing different types of clothing. If everyone were forced to wear uniforms, artistic personnel would be unnecessary. Sales persons would be superfluous as well; why bother to sell the only items that are available?
